Reese Witherspoon is usually done up to the nines with professional makeup, elegant gowns and stiletto heels when on the red carpet.
Even when the Hollywood veteran runs errands she has a stylish look down pat with fun blouses, hipster jeans and wedges with a slick of pink lipstick.
But on Wednesday the Morning Show actress posted a very rare makeup-free pH๏τo to confirm that she is indeed a natural beauty.
The post was dedicated to her 49th birthday that fell on March 22.
The glam-free image saw her with not a spec of paint on as she wore her hair down in a casual style while in a black cardigan at a restaurant as she was presented with a birthday cake.
‘Spring things *last slide is my new mantra ♈️,’ wrote the Oscar-winning actress.

This comes after the mother of three has another hit film on her hands, You’re Cordially Invited with costar Will Ferrell.
Last month she said that Ferrell is a ‘comedy genius’.
The actress admitted starring opposite Will, 57, was a ‘bucket list’ moment for her and Reese couldn’t have turned down the opportunity to work with the comedy star.
Reese told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: ‘I loved the script, and then of course I got to work with Will Ferrell. How could I say no?
‘It felt like a real bucket list moment for me, because I have been a Will Ferrell fan forever.
‘It had been 25 years since we did a sketch together [on ‘Saturday Night Live’], so we did do camera tests, but it’s just so easy with Will. He’s so easy to work with, so generous; I loved working with him.
‘The man is a comedy genius. He’s funny without even trying. I only have to look at him and I’m laughing.’
Reese’s favourite moment in their new film comes when Will had to wrestle an animatronic alligator.
The Hollywood star laughed: ‘That’s something I will never forget, Will, an alligator and me on the floor covered in fake blood.
‘That was a pretty crazy day.’
The ‘Legally Blonde’ actress thinks her latest work is exactly what audiences need right now.

The Oscar-winning star said: ‘I don’t think we had enough romantic comedies like this for a while.
‘We need movies that are fun and relatable and that we can all just enjoy. This is up there with the most fun I’ve ever had going to work.
‘Maybe we all need to learn that sometimes the best things come out of something that didn’t initially turn out the way you wanted.’
In February, Witherspoon shut down rumors she’s had a years-long feud with Kate Winslet.
The actress sparked widespread online gossip she and the тιтanic star, 49, had been feuding after Reese mentioned in an interview an unnamed actress had stopped speaking to her after she gave her a light-hearted roast at a British awards ceremony after misinterpreting the tone of the serious event.
Fans quickly seized on the remark, theorizing the actress in question was Kate – but Reese has now taken to her Instagram to laugh off the gossip.
She said: ‘Hey guys… just spoke to my very dear friend for years, Kate W. We laughed about this stupidity. Please do not believe the Internet.’
‘We are good friends and have never had any falling out.’
Fans had linked Reese’s comments about falling out with a fellow actress to a speech she gave in tribute to Winslet at the BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards in November 2007.

According to JustJared, which sourced parts of the transcript from a Reese fan site, she had joked about Kate’s European sophistication at the event – saying: ‘I always wanted to be a European movie star, wear giant sunglᴀsses, elaborate neck scarves, smoke hand-rolled cigarettes, and have savoir-faire and gravitas.’
She continued: ‘Imagine my good fortune when Kate Winslet moved into my neighbourhood, rang my doorbell and said, ‘Dahling, Sam is off shooting, and I believe our children are the same age. Could they possibly have a play date and oh, by the way, it’s almost 9 o’clock and I’ve had nothing to drink, do you have any wine?’
Kate also spoke of Kate’s ‘fearlessness’, referencing her ɴuᴅᴇ scene in the 2001 film ‘Iris’ by saying: ‘When I saw her in it and she took off all her clothes and jumped into that lake, I thought, ‘Wow, I bet that lake is really cold.’ And then I thought, ‘Wow, there’s an actor without fear.’
She also joked she could not share personal stories about Winslet because ‘they’re all too bawdy or tawdry or drunken to tell’.
According to the fan site, these anecdotes included ‘the time (Reese and Kate) contemplated laser hair removal and… or that time on the freeway when they pulled over and… or that really funny thing that happened when they were both in their underwear.’
